🌱 Winemaking

Hand‑harvested from a 1 ha old‑vine plot on Côte du Py. Semi‑carbonic maceration for 24 days in truncated wooden vats, fermented with native yeasts and no added SO₂. Aged for 9 months in 216‑liter used oak barrels. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with a micro‑dose of sulfur at bottling

🍒 Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in appearance. Aromas of kirsch cherry, raspberry, violet, and baking spices. The palate is fresh, silky‑smooth, and energized by vibrant acidity and fine tannins, revealing mineral-driven salinity and floral length. A refined, structure‑balanced Morgon with long aging potential

🍽️ Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with roast poultry, grilled meats, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and soft cheeses. Ideal served at 14–16 °C.
